Mark........enny time you have "starting issues", change yer sparkies. NO ARGUE!!! Recommend AutoLite 437's gapped 0.025". Don't throw yer FLOODED sparkies away, just clean'n'dry 'em, one-atta-time in HOT running engine and save'um fer the next time. (and there will be a next time)

Sounds like you have a dying battery. Batterys don't live fer ebber. re-polarizing is NOT a factor, dead battery is.

While changing points is a good thing on a hard-to-start engine, coils are the LAST thing to suspect and change.

There are 4-common "runtime issues" on the weird 4-nipple frontmount N-Engine.
1) runs fer about 1-min and quits; BAD condenser, NOT yer problem
2) runs fer about 5-mins and quits; restarts innna'bout 10-mins; CLOGGED in-the-tank fuel filter, NOT yer problem as described
3) runs fer about 15-mins and quits; restarts innna'bout 30-min; BAD weaksister ignition switch, could be yer problem
4) runs fer about 1-hr and quits; restarts after 4-hr or overnite cooldown; BAD squarecan ignition coil, NOT yer problem as described but could be
HTH........Dell, yer self-appointed sparkie-meister

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
